Samuel Glasstone (Editor), The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, 1964 edition: edited down to civil defense information. Contains a vital civil defense chapter 12, "Principles of Protection", which was omitted from the final 1977 edition. Obsolete material and technical material which is not relevant to civil defense is excluded. Justification: http://glasstone.blogspot.co.uk/
See also: The effects of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan (the secret U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey report 92, Pacific Theatre) located at: http://archive.org/details/TheEffectsOfTheAtomicBombOnHiroshima
See also the 1957 edition of Glasstone in compressed form: https://archive.org/details/TheEffectsOfNuclearWeapons1957
Compare to the civil defense material extracted from the June 1957 edition of "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" at https://archive.org/details/Anderson_shelter
The 1977 edition of "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" omitted the fire prevention evidence and photographs from the 1953 Upshot-Knothole ENCORE test which was included in the 1957 and 1962/4 editions, leading to the myth of "nuclear winter" due to firestorm mythology in 1983. It also replaced the "Principles of Protection" chapter with a new chapter on the EMP, leading to claims by Jonathan Schell in his 1984 book of New Yorker magazine essays, "The Fate of the Earth" that Glasstone's book disproves the possibility of surviving nuclear weapons effects.
Schell for example omits the simple improvised fallout shielding advice from the 1964 edition of Glasstone and claims that the 1954 15-megaton Bravo bomb fallout would doom anyone within a 7,000 square mile area, ignoring the fact that you have to remain outdoors in an unobstructed desert to get the radiation doses given in the 1977 edition of Glasstone's book. In addition, Schell's best-selling book misquotes Glasstone's range for threshold (small sized) retina burns to rabbits in aircraft exposed facing the fireball in a clear radial line-of-sight from the August 1958 high altitude 3.8 megaton Teak test at 77 km burst height, claiming falsely that the rabbits were blinded hundreds of miles from the 15 megaton Bravo surface burst. In fact, nobody had eye damage on Rongelap atoll, 115 miles from Bravo, although unwarned and unprotected.
The reason why Glasstone's book has been ignored or used for such false propaganda is that it is not very readable. This compressed summary aims to make the key facts clearer.

Subject: Beware fake attacks by CND anti civil defense haters of objectivity
Subject: Beware fake attacks by CND anti civil defense haters of objectivity
My submissions of published books to Internet Archive are edited versions, quotations, or EXTRACTS, not generally the complete documents which have been ignored. The whole point of extracts is getting information BRIEF for widespread readership. Hate attackers on civil defense are exposed as racists with a "divide and rule" war agenda, and the same goes for anti-deterrence anti-nuclear bigots such as CND's vice president Jeremy Corbyn who has repeated lies on nuclear weapons and hate attacks on civil defense based on nothing but DRIVEL. No, sorry, I am being far, far too polite by calling it "drivel". He is like his racist friends, possibly insane or evil, and a Jew hating racist, who has defended hate inciting racists, as proved here:
https://glasstone.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/the-january-1955-secret-fallout.html
Daily Express 26 March 2018, page 9 publishing a challenge against British Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn's racism dogma by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council: "We have had enough of hearing Jeremy Corbyn 'opposes anti-Semitism' whilst the mainstream majority of British Jews, and their concerns, are ignored by him. When Jews complain about an obviously anti-Semitic mural in Tower Hamlets in London, Corbyn supports the artist. Hexbollah commits terrorist atrocities against Jews but Corbyn calls them his friends and attends Hezbollah rallies in London. Exactly the same goes for Hamas. Raed Salah says Jews kill Christian children to drink their blood. Corbyn opposes his extradition and invites him for tea at the Commons."
Hate inciting racist Rael Salah was supported by Corbyn, who opposed his extradition and then invited him for tea at House of Commons, because it fits into Corbyn's anti-Western agenda of destroying democracy to impose a Marxist state.
To understand this tragic situation of how millions of Britons are now being fooled by fake news into backing someone with similar views to Hitler, let's get back to fundamentals. The USSR-Nazi Pact in August 1939 lasted until June 1941, a grey era in USSR history textbooks since Stalin deleted the facts just as he literally had Trotsky airbrushed out of all photos featuring Lenin, after Trotsky wrote The Revolution Betrayed. This August 1939 to June 1941 period of Nazi-Russian collaboration included the joint invasion, in September 1939, of Poland by Germany and Russia, Russia's invasion of Finland, and the Russian genocide against Poles (the Katryn Forest Massacre). All during the Cold War, Marxists in the West like Corbyn called for CND type unilateral nuclear disarmament to allow Russia to impose its brand of dictatorship on the West. The real drive behind Corbyn now is the young, who have been exposed by biased Nation Union of Teachers "anti-war" propaganda to a fairy tale version of history, in which wicked imperialists caused the Cold War against loving, honest Marxists. Not true. We got the bomb in the first place to end World War. Don't forget that, please.
We need to make the facts available in case of an "accident" with Putin's finger and a button.

Subject: Severely Edited Copy
Basically, you are getting about half of the actual document, which I have in hard copy, along with a hard copy of the 1977 edition. A large amount of useful data is not there. If you really want to get the information, locate a used hard copy online. This is somewhat better than nothing, but not by much.
